The massive scheme will see musicians from 28 different countries offered free studio time throughout September.

UK acts Azekel, Denai Moore and Phobophobes will have the opportunity to record at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London. A2 is recording at Stankonia, OutKast’s studio in Atlanta, and The Magic Gang are recording at Tufff Gong in Kingston, Jamaica.

More than 9,000 bands and artists around the world applied, with that total whittled down to 84. Abbey Road Studios, Sunset Sound in Los Angeles and Tufff Gong were among the first to get involved.

The trio of studios, arguably the three most famous in the world, as well as Converse’s own Rubber Tracks studios in Brooklyn and Boston, hosted their first artists on Monday, and will continue to open their doors to lucky participants for the rest of the month.

As part of the Converse Rubber Tracks studio takeover, the selected acts will record alongside a team of experienced producers and sound engineers during one- and two-day sessions. After completing their studio time, each act will retain all the rights to their music.

“We received an incredible response from such a vast pool of talent, and we look forward to providing this unique platform to new, diverse acts from all over the globe within these 12 iconic studios.”
